My neighbor used to have beagles, and they did a good job of howling all night. Occasionally he'd take them rabbit hunting, so he said. Actually I think he kept them around just to bug the neighborhood. We actually have two Beagle mutts. A male and a bitch. We got the male first in 2003. and the bitch a couple of years later. The male thought we were doing him a favor bringing a young babe into the house for him to hump all day and all night. After two days of the male trying to hump the bitch he has never tried again. We never say the scene where the bitch laid down the law but, ever since then the male has had to deal with being a notch lower on the totem pole. I guess that's why he chases the cat around the house so much. Ours Beagle's spend their time in the backyard squirrel hunting. They've only caught one in two years. And, they only bark when a neighbor is mowing the lawn or when the wife's car is driving down the street coming home. You need a full-sized Maine coon cat to straight out those pooches. Once the current cat dies we are done with cats. Too bad. Maine coon cats are great pets. Wife keeps talking about those Maine Coon cats... she wants something that can stand up to the neighbours half dozen cats that are always in our back yard. Our 17 year old female is tiny, under 7 pounds, but she used to try to put up a fight. Now she mostly sleeps or scolds the dog. |

Or, I could ship 'em live, but that costs more. -- John Salmonbait |

Properly bred Maine coon cats are quite a bit larger than ordinary house cats. http://www.verismocat.com/htmscripts/lrgimg.htm We have a runt of the litter Maine coon cat we saved from the outdoors. He's an absolutely terrific little cat, clean, smart, fast, and people-oriented. http://i21.photobucket.com/albums/b2...ous/calboy.jpg |

try and get under the bed when he heard thunder, firecrackers or other loud noises. He looked damn funny with his head under the bed and his body, from the neck to the tail, sticking out. He just looks in the direction of the noise. My last GSD did as yours, and went for cover. This one has a rock solid temperment. The breeder we got him from does a wonderful job, breeding for temperment and work. I started training him for Schutzund, but I didn't have the patience for the tracking part of it. --Mike "BAR" wrote in message ...

When you go to the dog pound you will see many dogs. If you count the number of beagles you will soon learn all you need to know about the breed. |
